When to Wear Jewels.
THE ABSURD FASHION OF WEARING SOLTrAIRES
AL TINES AND IN ALL PLACES

THE ABSURD FASHION OF WEARING SOLIrAIRES AT
ALL TINES AND IN ALL PLACES
Since the sale OF the crown jewels of France,
many of which are destined TO adorn American
beauty, conversation has leaned in the direction
Of precious stones. A few words may therefore
not be out OF place in regard to the proper time
and manner OF wearing them. 1t Is an unfOrtu-
nate custom in the United states for women to
wear jewels at all times; at breakfast in going to
market, for visiting for every possible occasion In
TACT. know one lady, the happy pOSseSsor OF ex-
Quisite pair OF solitaire diamond earringA who
never takes them out OF her ears This Is not only
foolish but IN execrable taste. In Europe-that is
on the continent-ladies wear jewels all day long
But then these fair foreign danes are not house
keepers They never go 10 market, the kitchen
In a flne establishment Is an unknown quantity
Inilady does not tramp about the streets looking
for bargains and arrayed IN an ugly tailor-made
costume, or still uglier thing called an ulster
The ways OF living abroad diner essentially from
that they are different. In America the women
walk great deal, and to the promenaders espe-
cfaliy, would say, leave your Jewels II you have
any, at home. Nothing is more ridiculous than to
see woman In a coarse serge gown, even made
by the best tailor, stout walking boots, perhaps
covered by muddy overShoeS, and with diamonds
blazing In her ears. For paying visits in the az
ternoon, IL one go in q carriage, O few jewels may
appropriately be worn vita silk or velvet cos
tune. In any event, never put on such abomina-
tons as imitation precious stones. No woman OF
real refinement Is ever seen in them. They are
only 1t for the rabble who seek to ape their bet
tiers. II you cannot AFFORD TO purchase the "real
thing" go without.

center, and already she Is recognized as the
most promising point In all the vast iIimitabie

her cultured society and her metropolitan airs

Brown upon The excellent work he did with his
new mower on Main street yesterday. The
mower worked spiendidly, and now IL the city
authorities will do their duty and have the hay

5. The day Is not far distant when Prairie Blast
Will have electric lights street railways ard her

what IS coming.
4. There Is some complaint among the citizens
over the TACT that the blacksmith stop and post
